One approach, which may not be sanctioned and may have risks, is to add code
to your mba, which imports the data from the
BootstrapperApplicationData.xml.  There are examples of a class here which
you may need to modify for a specific purpose.

My observation is that the BootstrapperApplicationData has a BundleId (which
changes with each build).  This value is used as the name of the registry
key in the 32 bit ARP Uninstall key to register the bundle with ARP.  You
can install your bundle, then launch it again and compare the
BootstrapperApplicationData.xml in the cache subfolder of %temp% with the
registry key where the bundle is registered with ARP.

One approach might be in the mba to get the BundleId and pass it to a MSI in
the bundle chain as a MsiProperty, which then writes the information to a
location known by Program A.  Program A could then look up the BundleId to
locate the ARP registry entry for the bundle, and learn the modify path and
command.  There may be issues with this approach when using web downloads or
when some future implementation of the wix tools are released since it is
based on current implementation details which may change.
